    September 25, 2024 - By 

    The solar eclipse is one of the most powerful celestial events in the magickal calendar. When the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, it casts a shadow that turns day into night, creating a surreal moment of cosmic alignment. For witches, this is a rare opportunity to tap into potent energies and transform intentions into reality. The next solar eclipse will be the annular “Ring of Fire” occurring October 2, 2024. Whether you are a seasoned practitioner or just beginning your witchcraft journey, here’s how to make the most of this cosmic phenomenon. NOTE: Don’t be reckless and…

    Rad Recipes: Roasted Roots

    September 30, 2023 - By 

    Michelle Lewis, The Blessings Butterfly I love to cook, and I really love to eat! What I don’t love is an overly-complicated recipe. When I first learned how to roast root veggies, it was like a match made in Food Heaven: 1 pan + a handful of ingredients = Deliciousness. Roasted root vegetables are a delicious and nutritious dish that can be easily customized to your liking. The “kitchen witch” in me loves everything about this. Perfect for eating seasonally and transitioning into Autumn/Fall! Here’s a basic recipe for roasted root veggies: Ingredients: 4 cups of assorted root vegetables (e.g.,…

    Manifesting With the October Full Moon

    October 7, 2022 - By 

    Michelle Lewis, The Blessings Butterfly October Full Hunter Moon The first full moon of the Fall is known as the Hunter Moon. It is also sometimes called the Blood Moon, not because of a lunar eclipse but because this moon rises before the sun has fully set… casting a reddish hue on Lady Luna as she rises into the evening sky.  You may have felt another surge of energy happening around you, if not within you, due to the collective energetic pushes around the world. The uprisings, the revolutions, the intense power-struggles are A LOT so if you’re feeling affected,…

    10 Powerful Mantras for the New Moon

    May 30, 2022 - By 

    Michelle Lewis – The Blessings Butterfly One of my favorite teachings that the New Moon has to offer is this: You can always start over. I have found this idea that you can always start over to be a powerful mantra that has helped me to evolve and grow. At the beginning of each lunar cycle, without fail, is the New Moon phase. It typically only lasts for 2-3 days and signals the start of the moon’s orbit around the Earth. In this phase, the moon is barely visible as she becomes perfectly aligned between Earth and the Sun. Over…

    Michelle Lewis – The Blessings Butterfly I’ve selected my Top 5 favorite crystals that I use personally for my own energy healing and also in my client work. There are so many gorgeous stones to choose from, and I have immense fondness for pretty much all of them.
